CYRUS

I turned over in bed, laying my arm over the lump of sheets next to me. Whatever time it was, my internal clock told me it was too early to be awake yet, so I allowed myself to drift back into sleep before a muffled groan made my eyes flicker open. The sheets moved and I quickly pulled my arm off of him and scooted away, now wide awake.

“Oh, Nico, I’m sorry,” I whispered gruffly.

Nico didn’t respond, and I realized that I hadn’t actually woken him up by nearly crushing him to death. With that disaster averted, I allowed myself to rest my arm gently over him again, pulling him in closer.

He was actually rather cute when he was sleeping, his hair falling in front of his gently closed eyes, his chest rising and falling softly with each breath, and his mouth closed so he couldn’t say anything obtuse. I never thought I would be with a human like him, always assuming I would be matched with someone a little closer to my size – a bigger gargoyle, maybe, or even a tall human, but not Nico, who looked like he would blow away in a heavy gust of wind.

After a few minutes of watching him, he began to stir again. He rubbed his eyes and looked back at me, smiling before turning around again to look at the clock hanging on the opposite wall.

“Oh, shit,” he mumbled, the smile disappearing, “I have to get ready for work.”

“No, Nico, wait.”

“What? It’s almost 9, Cyrus. I’m gonna be late if you don’t let me get up.”

His body was weak in this dozy state, so it was easy to keep him pinned to the bed. “It’s Saturday, my dear fellow. We have all morning to stay inside and enjoy each other’s company –unless you picked up a weekend shift as an excuse to get away from me.”

He relaxed, leaning back against my chest, laughing softly. “I would never do that, but I did forget it was Saturday.” With a sigh of relief, he put his hand on top of mine, rubbing in little circles around my knuckles. “Well, Cyrus, what do you propose we do with our morning?” His voice was still a little gravelly, but even now as he spoke, it smoothed into that honey-sweet tone I was growing to love so much.

“I can think of a few ideas.” I shifted, pressing my erection against him.

Nico immediately tensed again, though no longer with worry. “I think I’m ready for the next step,” he told me.

“Are you?” I ran my fingers through his hair. “ I shall be the one to determine that.”

A few strands were clumped together with product left over from yesterday and I smoothed them out as I combed my fingers through them. It was difficult to manage when my hand covered the top of his head fully, each finger looking like a sausage compared to his more delicate features.

Nico didn’t move as long as I caressed his head. He didn’t speak either, which was a pleasant change of matters. I didn’t dislike listening to Nico talk, but between the two of us, there was rarely a moment of silence. Two chatty people did not mesh well together, even if that was one of the only things we had in common.

“You stay in bed and relax while I freshen up,” I said, slipping out from underneath his body weight.

“What are you going to do?’ Nico asked, whipping his head around to watch me. “I don’t want you to leave for too long.”

“I’m simply going to brush my teeth,” I replied. “You know how it is with that pesky orc breath.”

“I think you make too big of a deal about that. Did someone complain about it once or something?”

I paused halfway to the bathroom. “Not exactly. It’s just that…oh, never mind. I’ll be gone for two minutes; do you think you can handle yourself?”

Nico nodded, recognizing that now wasn’t the time to ask more questions. I could feel his eyes on me as I closed the door behind me, taking in every little bit of me before I disappeared. He loved my body, that much I was certain of.

I came out a few minutes later as promised and rejoined Nico in bed. He cozied up next to me, his body fitting in beautifully against mine. Despite our size, we seemed to almost be made for each other, like two improperly cut puzzle pieces from a box of regular pieces. At least, I wasn’t cut quite right – Nico was as normal a human as they came.

“You told me you’re ready for more, so let’s see how true that is.”

Nico’s eyes were bright with desire. “Yes, I am. Tell me what to do and I’ll do it – anything, anything at all.”

I lounged back and spread my legs out, rubbing a hand along my cock. “Very well. If you would like to, you can suck me off this morning.”

Nico’s eyes widened. “It would be my honor.”

I wasn’t used to taking control and making my partners do what I wanted them to. I wasn’t even sure if I did want Nico to give me head, though he was certainly eager enough to make it worth it.

He scrambled to the end of the bed and crawled up between my legs, positioning his head above my cock and his hands on my upper thighs. He settled into place, wrapped one hand around the base of my cock as far as his fingers could fit around, and dipped his head down. Eagerly, he licked around the tip, swirling the precum around to make insertion into his mouth a little smoother.

I watched him keenly, curious to know how well he would take my length. It didn’t matter if he failed today, as I would continue to teach him the ways of the orc as long as he needed help, but his over-confidence in his abilities intrigued me nonetheless, and I had a sneaking suspicion that he would try to go all the way this morning, whether he could handle it or not.

He lowered his mouth around the head, taking it in a little deeper, before glancing up at me. I gave him a nod of approval, rested the back of my head on the headboard, and closed my eyes. He could take it from here.
